▎ 摘　　要

In this paper we investigate the carrier cooling dynamics in graphene flakes exploiting ultrafast transient absorption imaging technique. This tool enables us to combine nanoscale spatial resolution and sub-picosecond (ps) time resolution. It provides many advantages over the standard transient absorption techniques because it directly investigates the excited state dynamics at a local scale that would be usually averaged out. The local dynamics show a photobleaching recovery in the first ps, assigned to cooling by electronphonon scattering. We found that the photoexcited carrier dynamics is spatially uniform over the micrometer-sized exfoliated graphene layer. Ultrafast pumpprobe technique is combined with an optical microscope to investigate the local excited state dynamics in graphene flakes.
